Thisinvention relates to an improved receptacle or holder for compositions in stick form and it has for its ob ect to provide a holder in which provision -1s made whereb the adjustment of the stick as the lengt [thereof decreases ma be readily effected and the stick maintaine in position automatically.

other body which may be ormed of cardboard, metal, or an other suitable material,

, provided at one en with a cup or cover of ordinary form, and at the other end or bottom the. said-rece tacle is provided with an interthis means the stick may be ad usted to pro-v nal flange a aptedto support the substance contained therein and at thesametime'to permit the introduction of the finger to raise same as 'its length decreases. The rece tacle is provided interiorly with a longitu ienga g. faces'u ipn said plate. or bottom,

mem er are so s aped and disposed that when the plate is'in one position it'may be slid readily along the rib or projection, and whenit is moved at a slight angular distance to such position the enga ing aces will bite upon the surface of sai projection sufliciently to retain said bottom member or plate and the stick ofmaterialwhich maybe secured thereto in its adjusted position. ;By

showing more clearly the .actionof the adjustable bottom.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, a indicates the receptacle, which may be of metal or-other suitable material, and? is pro-u.

vided at its lower end with a bottom I), having an opening for the insertion of the finger, as shown by dottedlines in Fig. 2, in order to raise the stick 0. v The upper end of the re-' ceptacle is open-and iis provided with a removable cover d.

Formed upon the interior of the receptacle and running parallel with the longitudinal center thereof is a rib or .projection e', which maybe formed by rolling orotherwise'shaping the-body of the receptacle, sothat it A forms an'integral portion thereof, or it may in Fig. 5,, and secured-to the. interior of the receptacle in any convenient manner. sectional outline of the ribs may be .either.

be formed separate from the body, as shown The. J

thatshown in the various views illustrating the. invention or other outlines may be employed, as may be found. most suitable or, convenient of manufacture. "The stick of material 0 is securedat one end to a plate or member g. constituting-an adjustable hottom, theoutline of wlnchconforms'more or less closelyto the sectional outline of therece tacle and is of such dimensions as to er-- m1t it to be moved freel Within the sai receptacle. As shown-in ig. 2, the adjustable bottom ,has an opening for the passage of the rib e, which is there shown as of circular section, which said rib.

opening has faces for engaging In use the adjustablebottom and stick are i raised b the finger, as shown in Fig. 2, and: when a usted to the desired height the 'fin-, ger is wit drawn, when the Weight of the stick causes the adjustable bottom to incline some- .what when the upper and lower edge, res ec tively, of that portion of the adjustable ottom surrounding the rib e are forced against said rib, and the stick is held in position until further adjustment is necessary. A

I may in some instances employ acomparatively thick adjustable bottom g, as shown in Fig. 6 the edge of the opening therein be ing provided with a knife-edge 9, so. that When the disk is inclined, as shown by the dotted lines, the knife-edge will bite upon the bottom is sustaining the Weight oft e stick it will be normally locked by its engagin faces biting the will be at an angle from the perpendicular of a said rib or guide member; but when itis deward, and upon releasing the adjustablebot- 'gle to said transverse sired to advance the stick and the adjustable bottom is raised into a position transversely of the line of 'its movement and also of the line of said guide member the faces will be freed and thejbottom will move readily fortom it will again assume a position at an anplane and will again ecome locked.

While I have illustrated various forms of rib; it will be understood'that I do not wish to limit myself thereto, as I may vary the outline thereof, as may be found in practice to be most desirable.

Having nowparticularly described and as certained the nature of 'my said invention and in whatmanner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is 1. The. combination with a receptacle having an open bottom and an interior longiturib or guide member an that in this position the adjustable bottom hand in the presence 7 stars? movement of adjustment when the plane of said bottom is substantially transverse to its direction of movement and for engaging said rib when the adjustable bottom assumes aposition at an angle to such transverse position.

3. The combination with a receptacle, of a longitudinally-disposed guide member therein, an ad'ustable bottom within said receptacle and aving faces embracing saidguide member, and a stick of com osition secured to said adjustable bottom, the weight of the stick upon said bottom normally causing said faces to engage and lock with her.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my of the two undersigned GEORGE JAMES ORANGE. Witnesses: v EDGAR CROSFIELD PEARSON, H. MUOTHER.
